First time I heard some send AE for 15.....
Well the guy lost the time he would have won, had

> to ask three times for a repeat before he sended 15.
The CQWW exchange is known in advance for many zones,
including zone 15.
There was no need to ask for a repeat. You knew, from
the callsign, that the zone was 15. Sending a zone as
AE is similar to sending a report as ENN - and no one
needs a repeat in those circumstances :-)
